DESCRIPTION:oin HAVOQ's Prison Abolition & Prisoner Solidarity Workgroup for our
November monthly penpal night. We have letters from queer & trans prisoners
from around California who are looking for everything from personal to
political to romantic exchanges. Making a real life connection based in
friendship, support and solidarity with someone behind bars is one of the
most important ways to fight the prison and criminalization systems, which
is *designed* to isolate folks from their families and communities.\n\nThe
run-down:\n6-6:15, arrive, settle-in\n6:15-6:45, facilitated discussion
about current topics/issues affecting queers within the criminalization
system/prison industry (Nov - Yoga in Prisons project - presented by
Misia!)\n6:45-8, review penpal guidelines, find/write to your personal
penpal &/or make birthday cards for political prisoners &/or decorate
holiday cards for your penpal or folks on the Black & Pink list\n\nThere
will also be space to share from powerful, touching or difficult letters
you have already received. If you can, please bring some stamp money, a
snack or a friend!\n\nPlease invite friends, family, and other
organizations that you work with. We have so many letters that we can even
arrange to pass some along if you want to host your own letter writing
night or can't attend on Wednesdays.\n\n*** We'll check our PO Box a few
days before the event, so stay tuned to this page or join our
prisonabqueers googlegroup by emailing flyingoverwalls [at] gmail [dot] com
in order to be notified if we have received letters addressed to you and to
hear about other work we're doing!\n\nModern Times has zines, books and
resources available if you just want to come and learn something and they
can mail books to prisons if you get inspired.\n\n**EVERY 4th
WEDNESDAY**\n(11/28, 12/26, 1/23...save the dates and let us know if you
want to help facilitate the opening discussion for one of these dates!)\n
